Applesauce Cinnamon Ornaments...

JUST as children like to do... I, myself enjoys the season, cutting GINGERBREAD girls & boys out as well, here I've used a VINTAGE GINGERBREAD cookie cutter, placing the 'X' in the dough before baking. This APPLESAUCE CINNAMON dough has been a favorite of mine for years now along with the SALT DOUGH, that I will share another time.

Not only
use these ornaments on the tree... tie them on your favorite packages OR place
them on wreaths, garlands, etc.

And the children will have a GRAND
time rolling in this fragrant dough...

Here is the recipe I have used for
years... there are alot out there & some may vary, some allow them to air
dry OR bake in an oven, it's your preference... BUT I love the added aroma to
my home during the baking process.

'APPLESAUCE CINNAMON ORNAMENTS'

2/3 cup APPLESAUCE

1/2 cup CINNAMON

Blend the '2' ingredients together to
make a dough, should have the consistency of a cookie dough. Roll out...
hopefully the dough will roll without cracking, if it's dry... just add more
APPLESAUCE, but only a TBLS at a time. Roll to thickness desired, around
1/4", use CINNAMON to keep the dough from sticking to surface. Once
rolled out start cutting into shapes with COOKIE CUTTERS, using a straw OR
toothpick for making holes for the hanging.

Place ornaments onto a baking sheet
with cookie spatula, BAKE at 200 degrees for 20-30 minutes. Check frequently,
depending on thickness that will determine the time your GINGERBREAD spend in
the oven. Remove to a cooling rack. Then you are ready to add ribbon, string
OR jute for tying OR hanging.

ENJOY my friends... NOW go turn on
the Christmas music, tie on an apron & begin to make MEMORIES for years
to come.

A Little About Me...

Welcome... or as one of my favorite characters would have it... Salutations! I'm... Pamela, owner, operator, creator, photographer, designer, gardener, book keeper, etc... of Beehind Thyme, here you will find... quaint, little shops that are located on a small farm in the country. Come browse a SWEET selection of farm, country style finds throughout the 2 shops, plus a small... potting shed that houses garden goods seasonally and is used for seed starting at the beginning of the growing season. Oh... and the last endeavors have been constructing a large, 100' greenhouse for growing a fine, selection of Heirloom flowers, herbs & veggies... as well as constructing a large, high tunnel for an extended, season harvest!
I have a passion for creating... taking old, cast-off furniture and reinventing it into a piece that is wonderful and beautiful, plus has a useful purpose to it. Gardening... is at the top of my interests... I absolutely love old, garden accessories & taking salvaged goods to create garden art for the business and for our personal gardens.
I'm very grateful everyday for what God has allowed me to do and for the talent He has bestowed upon me, for I know with Him... all things are possible! I'm truly blessed with a son, Isaac, whom is the most, precious soul and has made me so proud during each & every step of his 23 years of life!
To my PRECIOUS mother, whom was aka 'Granna'... the sun rises & sets, for the promise of seeing her again someday. She was the mother; whom exceeded all other; she was the friend, whom there will be no other, (for the exception, of my Heavenly Father... A piece of my heart NOW resides on the other side, HEAVEN!
